Project goals – what will the project accomplish?

Timeline – project plans including start and finish dates.

Partnerships – how does the partnership mutually benefit faculty, students, and community participants.

Student involvement – who will be involved, and what will their roles be?

Role of faculty – as a faculty member, what will you do to implement the project?

Audience – who is your audience and what plans do you have to include and learn from them?

Demonstrated need – what is the demonstrated project need and are you responding to a direct request?

Evaluation plans – how and when will you measure progress as the project moves forward?

Executive support – plan on asking your department chair or director for an endorsement.
